Bissell Zing Canister Bagless Vacuum

Pros

• Assembly and Setup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 5.0
  Assembly is mostly done out of the box, with users just snapping in the hose and wand and being ready to vacuum without tools, complex instructions, or charge time.
• Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
  On medium-pile carpet tests it removed almost all of the measured sand and sugar, delivering excellent pickup for a budget canister.
• Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.9
  In testing it consistently picked up fine debris on hard floors, removing around 98 percent of sugar and sand, and real world use shows it quickly gathering dust, crumbs, and shredded paper from bare floors.
• Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.9
• Cord management ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.8
  A retractable cord that operates via a foot pedal keeps the cable stored inside the canister and makes wrap-up and storage tidy and convenient.
• Weight ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.8
  The Zing is relatively lightweight and compact for a canister vacuum, making it easy to pull along while cleaning and simple to lift or tuck into smaller storage spaces compared to bulkier models.
• Controls & UI ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
• Ease of use ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.6
  Foot-operated power and cord retraction, twist-together wands, and simple hose connections make the Zing straightforward to set up and run for most users, with plug-in-and-go operation and intuitive controls that keep everyday use easy.
• Suction & Airflow ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.6
• Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.5
  Bagless design and a washable exhaust sponge filter mean there are no ongoing bag purchases and only occasional filter rinsing or inexpensive replacements, keeping long term ownership costs very low.
• Maintenance requirements ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.5
  Most maintenance involves emptying the bin and occasionally rinsing the plastic canister, cone, and washable filters at the sink, with simple filter changes and light brushing of the floorhead and tools keeping performance up with only occasional cleanings.
• Bag-full indicator ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  A simple pressure based bag full indicator reliably alerts you when the bag is nearing capacity, and years of use show it continues to work without fuss so you can replace the bag before suction drops.
• Hair Pickup — Carpets ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  On carpet, including thick shag, it picks up a lot of pet hair for a vacuum without a motorized brush roll, though pushing the floorhead on very plush rugs can take noticeable effort.
• Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
  A compact, powerful budget canister that excels at basic cleaning, car work, and hard floors and has become a favorite for users who want strong performance and low costs, but it remains a poor fit if you expect premium build quality, top-tier filtration, or effortless maneuvering on thick rugs.
• Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
  The crevice tool and brush are very effective above the floor, reaching into sofa cracks, buttoned upholstery, blinds, and cabinet edges to pull out hair, crumbs, and dust without needing a separate handheld vacuum.
• Versatility ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
  Between the hose, wand, and floorhead it can handle hardwood, low pile carpets, furniture, car consoles, baseboards, cobwebs, and shredded paper, serving as an all purpose cleaner for households with varied cleaning needs.
• Hose length ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  A roughly 6-foot hose provides enough reach to clean around furniture, stairs, and above-floor areas from a single outlet in most rooms, especially when paired with the extension wand.
• Maneuverability & Handling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.2
• Bin & Bag ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.1
• Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.9
  On low pile carpets the Zing’s strong suction and multi surface floorhead lift everyday debris reasonably well for a budget canister, but it is not great on carpets and tends to leave some fine dirt and hair behind, especially compared with its excellent hard floor performance.
• Emptying & Mess Control ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.9
• Accessories & Tools ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 3.6
• Carpet — High-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  On high-pile carpets it removes most fine debris like rice, sugar, and kitty litter, but again has trouble with large cereal pieces, so results are good overall with a clear weakness for bulky particles.
